Hi All,

I am trying to make up my mind on a pot for this biggish taxus I have. I am not sure what would work.
The tree:

This is one pot I was thinking about, but it feels off, in a way..

Suggestions for a suitable pot?

Something like this?
I think what is ‘off’ about the other one is the horizontal band.

I wouldn't mind seeing it in one of those special made type joints like Harry uses so well.

The line from the tip of that jin through to the lower left root is so defining, continuing it through the pot too would be dope.

Friggin Nice.

The shape it's in is comfortable, if a bit small.

wow..
Never really saw that. Now you pointing it out.. obvious. And something I can put in a little stringer by enhancing the shari on the root

Put a little @TomB accent to the left, feeding back right... That's the kinda loop that drives the eye back through a "Deciduous canopy", or "green helmet" blah blah.

A scenario where anything more than a "green helmet" draws too much attention. I love the branch placement too.

The base is yes.
